Before ethical leadership practices can be improved, you must
understand the history of organizational ethics. What does it mean to be
an ethical organization? What must be done to not only become an
ethical organization but also maintain an ethical culture? Before you
can understand the present and move toward the future, you must have a
firm understanding of history.
Exploring important dates and the evolution of key practices will
help provide an overall picture of organizational ethics and where they
stand today. For this assignment, develop a timeline of the evolution of
ethical organizational leadership, along with the evolution of ethics
within business organizations as a whole. If possible, use your own
organization. Using your organization will give you both access and
insight. It is recommended to use a pseudonym. If you are unable to use
your organization, choose one from the list below:
Wells Fargo
BP Oil
Enron
You may use PowerPoint, Excel, or any other program you are
comfortable with to create your timeline. Include a minimum of 10 events
within your timeline. Be sure to explain why you chose each moment in
time and how it changed organizational ethics for the better or worse.
Length: one timeline with brief explanations of each event, not including title or reference pages
References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources. You may
include your references in your timeline or on a separate document.
Your timeline should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the
ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and
insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect
scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate. Be sure
to adhere to Academic Integrity
Note: my organization is the United States Army; use if you can…if not, select from the three (3) organizations: Wells Fargo, BP Oil, Enron
p.s.
Make timeline as one (1) slide, if possible. If not, the second slide can be used for additional space for brief explanations.
